I'm not exactly sure why my pics are showing up so small. But anyhow....
The boat chairs went buh bye. We were able to salvage the bench/bed/table out of the pop up to use. I know you've all seen what these benches look like, most of you probably have them in your conversion. But I'm pretty excited about them, so I'm gonna post pics anyways :) :pictures:

Putting them in....he has his light in the bench, looks like he found some magical treasure, or something lol

Ta da! The spare bed is much better than an air mattress on the floor for guests. Ps, we obviously still haven't gotten all the white board up (waiting last for that, I guess), and don't you love our kids' blanket for a curtain? LOL....that will change this weekend.

And, a place to eat inside or hang out in case it's raining! (which is the forecast for our next camping trip next weekend)

Moved the cabinet down to the front of the trailer, shortened it, and salvaged the sink out of the pop up. We got a new faucet that's one of the tall arch looking ones, so there's more room to wash dishes in there. The front counter will be raised up to the same level as the cabinet, and they will eventually have the same counter top. As for now, they will be unlevel.

That's great to use pieces/parts from the old pop up. :thumbsup:

Ok, I finally took some pics of the bunk beds. I will warn you, this was post camping trip....All of our stuff is still stuffed in there, and it's all disarray, but wanted to get some pics while we had the opportunity.

Here's the left top bunk shocks, down position

Top bunk in up position....Dave is joe cool here ;)

Bed resting in up position

Bottom bunk in bed position. You can see how it has 3 joints, and can be folded into either a bench or folded up completely and strapped to the wall for storage. We didn't fold them up for pics, because it is VERY heavy. lol. Also, you can see that our flooring is coming up, thank you Texas heat. We reglued some pieces in the front, will be working our way back little at a time to get them back down. Underneath bottom bunk is our storage area for our camping chairs, floaties, etc.

And that's it for now, folks! We changed around some things in the front, but will have to post those pics later :)
